Answer:
Lily babysit for <u>less than 4 hours</u>.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Lucy spends in a week babysitting for 4 hours.
Lily spends seven-eighths of 4 hours.
Now, to find whether Lily babysit for more than 4 hours or less than that.
Number of hours Lucy babysit = 4 hours.
So, to get the hours Lily babysit:
<em>On simplifying we get:</em>
<u><em>Thus, Lily spends </em></u><u><em> for babysitting which is less than 4 hours.</em></u>
Therefore, Lily babysit for less than 4 hours.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equation is,
x² + (p + 1)x = 5 - 2p
x² + (p + 1)x - (5 - 2p) = 0
x² + (p + 1)x + (2p - 5) = 0
Properties for the roots of a quadratic equation,
1). Quadratic equation will have two real roots, discriminant will be greater than zero. [(b² - 4ac) > 0]
2). If the equation has exactly one root, discriminant will be zero [(b² - 4ac) = 0]
3). If equation has imaginary roots, discriminant will be less than zero [(b² - 4ac) < 0].
Discriminant of the given equation =
For real roots,
p² + 2p + 1 - 8p + 20 > 0
p² - 6p + 21 > 0
For all real values of 'p', given equation will be greater than zero.
